Balcony

Anders Diseberg and Linda Sandgren enjoying dinner and the view from their balcony at the Afroditi, Massouri, Kalymnos, Greece.

It can be an idea to take into account the name of the climb, however, the rare sight of a slab sent Linda's reason running like water down a canyon. Fortunately, in the end, after a turbulent battle she did emerge victorious.

Tool

The use of tools separates us from most other animals, the complexity of which we often take for granted. What sort of tools are we capable of constructing, with our own hands, should the need arise? And how does our reliance on the industrial framework affect our ability to evolve society? Linda Sandgren having a paleolithic snack, Rodellar, Spain.

El Delfín

Bagged

Baggen is a route that seems to have gotten an abnormal amount of attention; the justification being that it has been Jonas' nemesis for a year or so, a wonderful combination of crimps, power and endurance that has finally been put to rest? Jonas Wigren, eyes wide shut, working Baggen 7a+, Finnsvedsbergen, Stockholm, Sweden.

Here's a look back...

Contrast

A climber, a down jacket and skinny dipper... a photo full of contrasts. Jonas Wigren, back at work, on Baggen 7a+, Finnsvedsbergen, Stockholm.

Dejection?

We're all looking to send, but when you're shut down does it leave you wanting more? Sure, once you've sent, there's that moment of jubilation and then it's off to the next problem. But when you're denied, there's the desire to overcome, a way to find, a challenge to meet, that results in the euphoria of the send. We climb to overcome? Jonas Wigren looking forward on Baggen 7a+, Finnsvedsbergen, Stockholm.

Baggen

Almost in the bag... Björn Bergmark cutting loose on Baggen, 7a+, Finnsvedsbergen.

Boarders...

While hauling along a pair of snowshoes is a bit of a drag, there are advantages to boarding. Linda Sandgren making the most of sunny conditions on Sørfjelltinden, Lyngen.

Templet, Sylarna

Linda Sandgren contemplating just how stable the snow is on the south face of Templet, Sylarna.

Approach, approach, approach...

Just getting there, in this case to climb the Templet pinnacles in Sylarna, takes it sweet time in the Swedish mountains.
